Palma cancels Sant Sebastià celebrations — how does a city respond in mourning?

Answer

Are the Sant Sebastià concerts and bonfires in Palma always cancelled in mourning periods?

No, not automatically. In this case, Palma suspended the main Sant Sebastià celebrations, including concerts and the traditional bonfire events, because the city wanted to observe mourning after the train tragedy in Andalusia. Whether such events return later depends on the city’s decisions and the wider situation.
